It's irresponsible journalism then. She never explained what she meant, she never had any "expert" talking about the terrorist fist jab. She just said it and never substantiated or qualified it. And considering Fox news continued repitition of the lie that Obama was "raised Muslim" they don't get the benefit of the doubt from me.

She was clear enough for me to understand her. Yet, due to some who were too dense, the next day she clarified the report. FOX News has not engaged in repeating the false claim that Obama was raised Muslim on their news shows. I watch the news, not the talking head opinion shows.

That was stupid, but not racist. Michelle had used the phrase "My Baby's Daddy" to introduce Obama at one of his speeches
Can you ever imagine Fox News referring to Cindy McCain, Hillary Clinton or Nancy Reagan as anyone's "Baby Mama"? Of course you can't because we all know that phrase is a uniquely African American slang. Which I have no problem with, except that the MEANING of the word is a woman with whom you have kids, but no other kind of relationship. Out of pure respect you don't refer to the wife of a senator and a Presidential candidate in that way. I might also add that all of us, regardless of our race, are allowed to call our dear loved one things, in certain contexts, that are innapropriate or offensive in another context. I have seen my Italian friend call his brother a "dirty wop" during a heated moment playing cards. Does that mean I can call him a "dirty wop?" Does that mean Fox news can refer to italian's as "dirty wops."?

Stupid is stupid. Stupid does not equal racist.

I would rather get my news from FOX, then from MediaMatters or Moveon.org.
I'm not sure, exactly, how you can equate Moveon and Media Matters. The former is a political action group, the later is an independent media fact checking organisation.

R i g h t. You can believe that if you want. MediaMatters takes things so far out of context only those with an inherent bias can accept it as an independent media fact checking org.

But I can imagine that someone who enjoys Fox propaganda would actually despise media matters since they so often call out Fox. The only thing you can say about media matters is that you perceive them as liberal. You can't actually demonstrate that their criticisms of Fox and other corporate media are innacurate.

When MediaMatters has a story about something I have witnessed or heard and it is presented so far out of context that its original meaning is lost I can say that the reporting of MediaMatters is inaccurate. Pew has done several polls of FOX viewers and the majority of them define themselves moderate. Many also define themselves as liberal. You can push your propaganda all you want, but don't expect everyone to buy the silliness.

And there's nothing anti-Christian about a marxist political philosophy.

Oh yea, r i g h t. Except for that whole "opium of the masses" atheist foundation, its materialistic class conflict thing, its demand of collective salvation.
And posted next.

Just thought I'd post this video, which you may have not seen.

I have seen it. You claim FOX lies and yet your own evidence proves that FOX did not lie. The taking out of context does not work with Wright, since the more context you have and the more you see of Wright, the more you realize that Wright is a racist, anti-Semitic, conspiracy nut. I cannot help you if you do not consider Rev. Wright's anti-American conspiracy filled rhetoric problematic.

If you want to believe that Barack Obama's spiritual mentor of nearly twenty years is such a nice guy that is your choice. I believe he is a racist, anti-Semitic, conspiracy nut, and a Marxist in Christian drag.
